The brothers earlier faced steeper charges including assault with intent to murder, extortion and witness intimidation.

Authorities say the D’Annas stormed into Nonna’s Italian Kitchen near 23 Mile and Schoenherr at closing time on April 28th and beat owner 35-year-old Pietro Ventimiglia, striking him on the head 11 times with an aluminum baseball bat. Prior to the attack, Ventimiglia had expanded his restaurant from a seating capacity of 40 to 90. Nonna’s is located across the street from Tirami Su.

The brothers could face two to 17 months in prison. They remain free after posting bond ahead of sentencing, which was set for Dec. 13 in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.
